About the Show

Best friends and award-nominated authors Clare C. Marshall and S. M. Beiko are here to talk creative entrepreneurship. But they don’t just talk–they do! After all, they are publishers, editors, book designers, web managers, writers, illustrators…yes, they have skills!

Each episode, they discuss the results of experiments and activities with their businesses–whether it’s testing the latest productivity hack, running a workshop, or writing a book in a month–and more! Listen, laugh, (and sing?!) with these two goofballs as they share their knowledge and grow their businesses. Turn your dreams into dollars every second Wednesday.

Episode 5 – How to Speak on Panels AKA Pick Your Battles, PUT SOME BATTLES BACK

Whoa nelly, you are just chomping at the bit to get into the convention scene, aren’t you? Now that you’re equipped with Maximum Tabling Knowledge, it’s time to check out the other side of the curtain—programming! If you’ve got a lot you can talk about—writing, business, marketing, promo—then you’re set! But what if you’re fresh and green, like we’ve all been? How do you get onto programming in the first place—and what even IS IT?

You have so many questions. It’s going to be okay. Clare and Sam are here to walk you through different types of programming, why it’s important to participate in it, and some good and bad moments from their own years of Con Experience.
